COAST TO COAST: new year's poem
©
Farouk Asvat
Little birds fly in
silhouette
Dirty oranges splash
across the evening sky
Diamonds glitter on
distant black hills
As the grey sea
leisurely splashes
Against the rocks at
my feet
Here at Club Mykonos
In the Cape of Good
Hope
It is time
My thoughts sail
In a little fishermen's boat
Slowly disappearing over the horizon
Across the oceans
To a pier in San Francisco Bay
Where a saddened smile greets me
Every morning on a futon
Linking the trauma of the past
With the happiness of a love
That is so far away
